Enthusiasm of a pagan


---Sunil Sharma

Staggering home from the moon-lit meadows
now receding as magical realms far off 
blending with the skies and stars
where I glimpsed the Olympians laughing/dancing
along with the ordinary mortals; the devotees
working up a frenzy for their respective gods!

My feet are lithe
almost air-borne
heart bursting with joy
antelope-like I fly
across the uneven terrain
a scented breeze follows
intoxicated steps
as I have already
encountered the unicorn and the red-eyed Bacchus
in the sacred grove near the stream
and the Aphrodite beckoning Sappho
from her entranced Muses
in an uplifting instant!

blessed!
to see them all
in this fleeting moment
in the year 2016
re-living all that is lost!
